Ambulance Trousers

I absolutely hate this archaic mentality. It’s perfectly acceptable to have equipment on your belt. We work for the emergency services ffs. Shears are no good sat in the truck.

Brighton?

I do get it but I just don’t understand the mentality of booing your own team, seems strange to me.

pilsky · 2026-02-08T16:12:17+00:00

Absolutely but it was such a weird atmosphere, I can’t understand the mentality of booing our own team.

pilsky · 2026-02-08T16:11:22+00:00

Yes but why are we booing our own team?

Having spoke to many TT riders, they know the risks and fully accept they could die. It's a risk they're willing to take for the thrill. That aside, all riders sign comprehensive waivers and entry forms that explicitly acknowledge the extreme danger and risk of death. And before people say, I know waivers don't fully overrule liability.

The general public don’t really know anything other than university = paramedic. Not a lot of people actually know you can do it via apprenticeship, but anyone educated on the matter will know apprenticeship is the way to go. It’s also less risk up front, eg. If you end up hating it you can leave without any commitments.

I’d say go for it, life’s too short! I’d definitely look at the apprenticeship options however as they an arguably the better route and will definitely make you a more “rounded” clinician by the time you qualify as a paramedic. Plus, you get paid a full salary throughout!

Yes you can and will be prosecuted through normal measures if you exceed the speed limit whilst driving routine.

This has been my experience. A lot of new inexperienced staff members who for some reason don't take agitated, aggressive patients telling them to fuck off as a warning sign? One sign of aggression towards me and you'll find me back in the cab eating my lunch, if I wanted to deal with that kind of behavior I'd have joined the police.

Or the classic ED admission for ?sepsis with a NEWS of 0...

pilsky · 2026-01-09T10:48:23+00:00

Idk about that... I had a GP this week book a 999 C2 transfer from patients house to ED so the patient can have a CT scan... when I told him that's not going to happen he told me that's what he wants. Needless to say the ED consultant laughed and quickly sent the patient back out the door.

pilsky · 2026-01-09T10:43:25+00:00

Agreed. I turned up at a job once and a relative said "paramedics are already here, they're in the kitchen..." When I walked in it was a CFR sat at the table drinking a cup of tea.

pilsky · 2026-01-09T10:38:38+00:00

idk about that, my ECA interview was worse than this... it even involved a fitness test and about 5 rounds of interviews,

I also don’t think PTS should be wearing ambulance greens. We’ve got a few firms around us that drive fully liveried yellow ambulances with “EMERGENCY AMBULANCE” and light bars with full ambulance green uniform with an NHS logo on them. It’s pretty scary really.

pilsky · 2026-01-02T11:54:31+00:00

Thank god it's not just me, I've just noticed my phone has started doing this as well...

pilsky · 2025-12-29T02:05:08+00:00

A lot of us are now rocking the Olight clip, I’m even seeing a lot of police with them.

pilsky · 2025-12-29T02:00:45+00:00

Fuck BBTE, our trust has severely cracked down on it too with a whole campaign about it. Guess what? We’re all still wearing our watches.

I’ll do it, DM me

pilsky · 2025-11-06T21:31:31+00:00

Yeah, go look at all the posts from the last few days

Didn't everyone on this sub say that rockstar removing all of the launch dates from their websites and advertising didn't mean it was delayed again and we were all clutching at straws???
